our review of the Sagem mx150X here
The Sagem my150x is a very low cost
phone from this French manufacturer which manages to
look very stylish and comes with an interesting display
technology too.
It's a very light phone, the Sagem my150x
weighs just 65 grams. At just 10mm thick, the my150x
is very slim too - in fact, it's one of the slimmest
phones on the market. Overall dimensions are 107 x 47
x 10mm, which means that the my150x isn't too small
to use. The handset is attractively finished with chrome
highlights to add to the slightly unconventional
monoblock layout.
The display is pretty unique - it's
a large 1.8" 101x64 pixel monochrome panel that
uses a technology that Sagem call "NeoNTM".
Exactly how this works is unclear, but Sagem say that
the display is similar to a "classic Casio watch".
It certainly does look a little like the type of display
that you'd see on an old-style LED calculator which
is no bad thing. Information is displayed in a high
contrast blue-on-black display which certainly gives
the Sagem my150x a distinctive look. The menu system
on the my150x has been specially created to make use
of the novel display.
The
rest of the features on the Sagem my150x are pretty
straightforward - it's a dual-band GSM device with a
vibrate function, speakerphone and polyphonic ringtones
and that's pretty much it. Despite its stylish looks,
the Sagem my150x is very inexpensive - a SIM free version
is around €60 / £40 and you can expect a discount
if you buy a prepay version.
In France, the Sagem my150x is currently
available on Bouygues Telecom, SFR and Virgin. In the
UK the my150x will be available on Orange pay-as-you-go,
initially through Asda stores. The handset will be on
the market from September onwards, and we suspect
might be a popular gift at Christmas.
